Unparalleled surgical expertise

Surgery encompasses a vast area of expertise. At Montefiore, we meet our patients' needs with outstanding physicians, surgeons and support staff in all areas of specialty and subspecialty, including:

Team approach to top-quality care

We offer the highest quality care for our patients – from diagnosis to surgery and beyond. Through our team approach, an array of specialists develop an individualized course of treatment for each patient. Our support staff – including nurses and technicians – is second to none in capability, dedication and compassion.

Pioneers in minimally invasive techniques

Montefiore has a proven reputation for managing even the most delicate and complex surgeries with overwhelmingly positive outcomes. In addition to excellence in traditional open surgery, Montefiore is a leader in minimally invasive surgery. This extraordinary advancement for patient comfort and safety uses specially designed equipment, such as the daVinci robotic system, and techniques to perform surgery via small incisions.

The benefits of minimally invasive procedures are many, including less pain and scarring, fewer complications, reduced hospital stay and a faster return to normal activity. Montefiore develops and adopts new approaches in surgical performance to provide our patients with superior results and minimal inconvenience. In many areas, we have replaced open surgery entirely with less invasive methods.

Innovators in precision-enhancing technology

We are continually researching and developing supportive therapies to improve the results of our surgical endeavors. Innovations in imaging and scanning technology have allowed us to perfect the precision of many surgical procedures, reducing surgery time and decreasing patient discomfort.

Our state-of-the-art facilities incorporate the latest technologies and advancements in surgery, providing our patients with the best treatments and care available anywhere in the nation.
